Maintenance Department

Here at Cantraybridge, sustainability is one of our core values. The role of our Maintenance Department is to measure our Carbon Footprint and, where possible, reduce it by teaching our students about energy consumption.

In the near future, we aim to bring more environmentally friendly equipment to our offices and student houses on campus.

The department delivers cost-effective maintenance cover and support throughout Cantraybridge, whilst teaching our students basic skills such as painting, decorating, plumbing, joinery and minor electrical work.

The Maintenance Department is focused on:

Enabling our students to learn important life skills for maintaining their own homes and those of others.

Providing peer-to-peer training in the form of seminars and training sessions, throughout the year.
